Question

The sales price of a car is 12,590, which is 20% off the original price. what is the original price?

Answer 1

To find the original price of the car, you can use the following equation:

Original Price - Discount = Sales Price

Let's call the original price "X." You have the sales price as $12,590, and it's given that this is 20% off the original price:

X - 0.20 * X = $12,590

Now, simplify and solve for X:

0.80 * X = $12,590

Divide both sides by 0.80 to isolate X:

X = $12,590 / 0.80

X = $15,737.50

So, the original price of the car was $15,737.50.
